Hi plumber

I was dx at 48 and it took me along time to come to terms with it. When I left the Hospital after just been told the news,I just broke down and cried, sat in my car for ages before driving home.
That was 5 years ago. You do learn to manage and adapt to the changes. (well no choice really)
Keep positive and enjoy spending time with your son, as kids are a great tonic. Don't let the PD stop you doing all the things you plan or intended to do before.
I wish you well and please let us know how you get on. Good information on the forum and plenty of good people willing to help with their advice.
love PB

Hi Plumber,
Welcome to the forum. I'm a 47 year old mom and wife. My daughter is 13. Was dx'ed in May, but tremor started about 8 years ago. Exercise is my med of choice for now. Working on improving diet and trying supplements. Forum helps to feel like you are not alone. Best wishes to you, Lin2
